The Autobiography of Yukichi Fukuzawa by Yukichi Fukuzawa

Yukichi Fukuzawa (1835-1901) was a leading figure in the cultural revolution that transformed Japan from an isolated feudal nation into a full-fledged player in the modern world. Dictated by Fukuzawa in 1897, this autobiography offers a vivid portrait of the intellectual's life story and a rare look inside the formation of a new Japan.
As readable as it was a century ago.. refurbished with Craig's excellent introductory and terminal essays and a number of appendixes. -- Donald Richie Japan Times
